Hi, Joel Hickerson, grindog.com. Today, we're going to learn how to draw a five-point star. First thing to draw a five point star -- and I'm going to do it the simplest way possible. This is how I learned to draw it in elementary school, and this is probably how most of us were taught. You start with a point, and draw lightly because you're going to come back and erase the inside of your star. Come down at an angle, come back up, cut straight across, go back down, and try to keep it...same place or even with your bottom point, and come up. And that is a real basic way to do it. If you've drawn lightly enough, you just come back in and erase the lines you don't...you don't want anymore, and you come out with a pretty decent five-point star. And that's how you draw a five-point star.
